[PATCH 1/2] rust: debugfs: migrate BinaryWriter requirements to zerocopy

From: Josef Ippisch <[email protected]>

Migrate `BinaryWriter`'s default implementation's requirements on T from
`kernel::transmute::AsBytes` to `zerocopy::Immutable` +
`zerocopy::IntoBytes`.

The additional `zerocopy::Immutable` requirement does not further
restrict the types in practice but is rather a more explicit requirement
(that the type does not have interior mutability) and is required by
zerocopy for the `as_bytes()` function.
